“I remember during pre-season, when we stayed in America, I spoke with him and told him, ‘Victor, you will stay with us.’

“I’m happy to have this type of player. But I saw his potential quickly. I knew of him but to see him live is very important to judge a player. Victor was very, very happy when he listened to my words. He told me, ‘I’m ready to stay here and fight for you, for the club’.”

And Moses is not the only one who is being lined up to stay with the Blues. Conte himself is in it for the long haul.

He said: “I think my situation is very clear. I have a contract with Chelsea.

“We are trying to build something important with the club, for the present and for the future. I think the situation is very clear.

“When you start working at a new club, you hope to stay many, many years because it means you are working very well.
